One thing I learned from poking about the nitros9 make files that's not so 
easy to grok from the documentation is that apparently you can copy a whole 
slew of files to a disk image at once like this:

os9 copy test1.txt test2.txt test3.txt test4.txt ... test999.txt work.dsk,

Now if I could just figure out how to do something like "os9 copy folder\* 
work.dsk," to copy an entire folder at once.
